Frida had loads of symbols that she used in her art work one of them is the humming bird. The Hummingbird is a Mexican symbol meaning good luck. After reading what she had been through sounds like she needs all the luck she can get. Her painting medium was oil, on canvas, on masonite and on metal.
Oil paint on canvas.
Frida Kahlo used oil on masonite for her painting "Thinking of Death," which was created in 1943. The choice of masonite, a type of engineered wood, allowed her to achieve a smooth surface for her detailed and vibrant imagery. This painting reflects her exploration of themes such as mortality and identity, characteristic of her broader body of work.
Frida Kahlo used oil paints primarily for their rich color, versatility, and ability to create texture, allowing her to convey deep emotional content in her work. The slow-drying nature of oil paint also gave her the flexibility to modify her paintings over time, reflecting her evolving thoughts and feelings. Additionally, oil paints were a common medium among artists of her time, which may have influenced her choice to adopt them in her own artistic practice.
Frida Kahlo created 200 art paintings; Self Portrait with Monkey is one of her most famous paintings. It measures 16" x 12", is an oil on Masonite done in 1938, and is at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY. Most of her masterpiece paintings are self-portraits that also incorporated topics seldom seen in Western art, like abortion and childbirth. Friday Kahlo was born in 1907 and died in 1954.
